lyrics

My mental state is suffering,
Grief blurs my focus and vision
Lost all of my ambition,
Reflecting absence

Now I can’t stop counting,
Can’t stop obsessing
Obsessing over time,
Over time passing
My mind keeps spinning in circles,
Reflecting absence

Now I dwell on future certainties,
Dwell on guaranteed unknowns
I dwell on my anxieties,
Reflecting absence

This self-inflicted suffering,
Isn’t what anyone wanted
This sorrow is so useless,
The pity is pathetic
It blinds the magic of moments,
Rejecting absence

It’s time to start living,
It’s time to stop dwelling
It’s time to stop forgetting,
The privilege of living
